^_^ I got my package from CraftyPirateGirl on friday night, and it's totally freaking awesome!! I took some picturesa, but they're not very good... A box showed up in the mail. when I opened it, I found... a fuzzy blue thing?? It had a can cozy!! With pretty rope wrapped all around! I took it off (and later discovered that it works as a hat!) and the can was almost bursting open. Here's what was inside! Two ADORABLE stuffies, which you can't see very well because of my crummy picture-taking skills, two gorgeous pairs of chopsticks, a piece of vinyl that was lining the can, and a bag that looks mysteriously full. I squealed when I opened the bag. It's so freaking cool!! Again, the picture is bad, but they're plastic sea creatures and squishy dinosaurs... made into EARRINGS!! A whole ton of them! And a bunch more with loops in them, for keyrings and necklaces! PLUS, a ton of piratey temporary tattoos and three beautiful domino pins! Ohh, I wish you could see them better in the picture =_= Everything is amazing! Alright, I'm done rambling, so... thanks so much CraftyPirateGirl, and thank you silentdementia for organizing this swap ^_^ Now I need to hurry up and finish my can so I can send it...

The cover on the can was supposed to be ocean-colored and I was going to hang some of the little sea creatures off the rope, but my husband pointed out that putting things on the outside was kind of cheating, so the cover ended up being kind of random. I had no idea that it could be a hat, but that makes me happy.

wow i cant belive you already recied Sakanasea! great stuff, i especialy love the sea horse stuffy, also i cant think of anything quite as cool as dino earings. craftypirategirl you did a good job and i cant belive how quick you were! Jane

CraftyPirateGirl-- how in the world did you cram all that in there? Crowbar?

Very nearly.

I know people were discussing this over on the sign-up thread, but I thought a Pringles can would hold a lot more than it actually would. I already had my can, so I could have checked how much space I had after I made each item, but, silly me, I didn't until I had made the stuff above. I still wasn't done with everything I wanted to do, but since I could just barely tape the lid on at that point I had to stop.

If anyone wants to do another round of this swap in the future, I'm already mentally plotting out what I can fit in my next Pringles can.
